Rare 1974 Omega Flightmaster Sells for €2,500 on Bares für Rares

Despite an expert valuation nearly quadrupling their hopes, the sellers agreed to €2,500, departing the studio content.

Overview

  • ZDF expert Sven Deutschmanek valued the Omega Flightmaster at €3,800–€4,400 after inspecting its full set and condition.
  • Gert and Barbara Fischer von Mollard had anticipated around €1,100, roughly covering their 2019 Omega service cost of €1,159, before learning the expert’s estimate.
  • Dealers in the Händlerraum capped their bids at €2,500, with Julian Schmitz-Avila securing the purchase under show pricing dynamics.
  • Under Bares für Rares rules, experts cannot buy items, so Deutschmanek relayed his enthusiasm without making an offer.
  • The couple said they left with a “rundum glücklichen Gefühl,” valuing the experience more than matching the expert’s valuation.
